Advantages: No need to do intensive workouts

Disadvantages: None

Take a stroll through the park this time of year and one will see several kinds of people doing their fitness work out. The first kind is the super skinny thin marathon runner with no muscle yet can probably run over 30 miles in a day. Then there's the bulldog bodybuilder physique weight lifter type, the kind of person who has just finished lifting a set of 100KG weights at the gym. Finally there's the over weight kind of person who suddenly decided that they desperately wanted to shift a few pounds for the first time in their life.

Most people who go on a fitness program seem to do it to improve their outward appearance, however having taken in part in all kinds of sports and fitness activities it would appear that the amount of exercise one does not correlate to their outward appearance. For example, the weightlifter type actual has a very unnatural and less than optimal physique, muscles lack flexibility, posture is unnatural and as a result there is poor blood circulation around the body. On the other hand the marathon runner has trained their body to run long distances yet their body lacks adequate muscle mass.

For this reason, I recommend an exercise program that can be maintained throughout ones lifetime. The most essential is regular walking, at least 2 miles a day. I also recommend general stretching. It's not just about strength and endurance but the body's muscular structure must be optimal. I have friends who never do exercise yet they look in better shape than some people who are in the gym every day. This mainly because they are simply normal weight and their physical structure has good alignment. Regular walking and stretching as well as balanced diet should keep anyone is reasonable shape.
